Default Split my second arrow, right down the middle!

i was shooting today at like 25 yards and after shooting like three rounds of 4 arrows, i let one off and boom! i hear the sound of exploding carbon!lol and i split my nock exactly down the middle and into the arrow! i did this once before with my aluminum xx75 (love those arrows, i would still use em' if i could find them local)

Nice, still waiting on my first one. Once I replaced my arrow rest my groups went from 2-5" @ 25 yards, to every arrow ontop of the other... I'm sure it'll happen but at, 140 a dozen... it tends to hurt breaking or losing arrows lol.

Congrats. I have only Robin Hooded once. I had a new string put on my bow and the guy had me shoot at the indoor range to get the nock position right. I Robin Hooded on my 3rd shot so I guess the nock position was right.

I aim at a different spot on the target with each arrow in order to avoid damaging arrows.

got my first robin hood arrow on top of my gun cabinet with the second arrow still stuck inside the first one (aluminum arrows)

yeah they can get right pricey if you keep doing it, i also try to aim at different spots on my targets now to avoid damage to my arrows.

Ive done it three times, but at $15 an arrow I don't think I will be doing that anymore.
